You have a time bomb lurking in your car with the gas. Be careful gas fumes are nothing to play with.

Good luck and be safe.

Thanks all for the suggestions. I'm taking the car this AM to a local "detail" shop that was recommended by a friend in the auto body business. He thinks that the only permanent fix may be to replace the carpet and the fold down "third row" seats that took the most of the spill.
